I honestly have not followed that story - At All. But of course rape is never, ever acceptable and it is always a crime. Although an accusation is not the same thing as a conviction. People forget that.

The accusers agreed to a monetary settlement instead of pressing charges a'la Kobe Bryant.

Oh, you can pay money to get out of criminal charges? That is good to know!

Not all of the rescued dogs from Vick's disgusting kennel became fine family pets.

Did anyone reading these boards ever see a dog attack on a person or animal? One comment has the term the "new normal" for dogs for basic expectations:

Vick and his pitbull breed involvement have created another problem. New normal is leash aggression, perplexing attacks /deaths when instinct kicks in...

Pit people might not lie this but the link below details how nice shelter dogs are used as bait dogs in behavior assessment for the intakes:

So they use a nice dog and it gets traumatized.

I'm a Philadelphian and there was plenty outrage when Vick joined the Eagles. He did his time, more time than people do for committing crimes against human beings. I don't like the guy but I wasn't going to turn my back on my football team for giving him a second chance after serving his given time.

I say this as the proud human mom to an adorable Pit rescue. Move on.

I'm ok with putting my heart and morals before my football team.

Where are your heart and morals when known (even if they aren't convicted) rapist and abusers take the field? Right there with the rest of the fans I'm sure.

Wtf I'm upset about the dogs, leave me alone already. Jesus.

I don't think that is a fair comparison. Vick tortured animals. I didn't follow the Peterson case closely but wasn't it spanking with a switch, which wasn't illegal or something? I just remember a lot of people chiming into that debate and saying that's how they were raised too etc.
